Nah it doesn't matter anyway, I'll be sent to heaven anyway according to you lol! Temporary punishment for my actions, then an eternal glory? Not even worth comparing! Woah, I'm gonna sin it up all I want! Wait, can I sin in heaven too? I mean, the cost is only temporary punishment. So maybe I...

Yes even the demons believe in God! You can't believe something without acknowledging it, can you? "You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder." - James 2:19

It just showed you: "take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." "He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of...

Yes they are going to be judged. Well done!

This is a very common misinterpretation: Will everyone who confesses that Jesus is Lord at His coming be saved? Yes ultimately everyone will have to confess Jesus is Lord. They will be forced to bow to him. Therefore, the people who confess him willingly have accepted the Holy Spirit (1...

Yes we are saved through faith in Christ alone. He saves us from our sins, and takes upon himself the wrath of God that we deserve. He is judged in our place. However as you pointed out Christians will be judged for their works (1 Corinthians 3:12-15) but this judgement has nothing to do with...

This judgement is specifically for Christians: What does 1 Corinthians 3:15 mean? | BibleRef.com Non-believers will receive a different judgement.

Yes it does. The objective moral law of God is written on their hearts. That's their conscience. And when they disobey that objective standard given to them in their conscience, it will testify against them. Of course I believe in the judgement. However I still don't understand what you're...

Well morality isn't, nor is truth. You don't need lies in order to know the truth. And you don't need evil to know good. The concept is pretty straightforward and it's clear you're just being difficult. Okay so what if someone enjoys raping and killing little children? Are they going to heaven...

Well, read this: In Genesis 3:2 did Eve receive the command not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good & evil directly from God or through Adam? She knew full well. Perhaps nothing else would taste as good, but that doesn't mean it would taste good. I disagree with the idea that one can...

Hey man, I don't need to eat a burger made of dog poop in order to know what a good burger tastes like. Light does not require dark to exist. Rather, darkness is the absence of light. C. S. Lewis also touched on this in Mere Christianity. There's good reason to believe Adam and Eve knew what...

Absolutely correct! They thought their love for Jesus is what saved them! Just as you think your love for God is what saves you too you worker of iniquity you! "This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins." - 1 John 4:10

Hey, if I'd first told them "don't play in the freeway", and they chose to anyway, that isn't my fault! And they wouldn't have had free will if the choice were not there. They indeed chose to trust the serpent whom they barely knew over the creator who had given them paradise. He literally...

When you cheat on a spouse, they are completely justified in wanting eternal separation. Jesus died to save us from our sins.

They had enough knowledge to trust in God. But they desired what God had told them not to, because they didn't trust him. Their distrust in God's promise was actually the first sin. Please watch this: There are different types of love. If love was merely a feeling we couldn't possibly choose...

That's a very deep question that I won't be able to answer fully. But Jesus takes the punishment we deserve. Similar to how you're in a court of law, if someone pays your fines for you, you're free to go. Jesus paid the fine on our behalf. The wages of sin (payment for sin) is death, but the...

He didn't create us imperfect. Adam and Eve were without sin, but they freely chose to sin. Sin came into the world through Adam. Love cannot exist without free will. Love has to be freely given, otherwise it's not love. A consequence of true free will is that some will choose to sin. However...

And read what I said. You have worked iniquity. James 2:10 says so. However, it's very clear you only read the first line or two of my reply. That's very disingenuous of you. Automatically assuming you're right while dismissing everything else I've said = you don't care about the truth = you're...

He does offer mercy, but also justice, which all takes place on the cross.

He operates on the same standard he holds us to. And he has appointed a judge in our place. Then he will repay perfect justice on our behalf. Vengeance is not a sin. It just belongs to God, who is the perfect judge. Since we are incapable of perfect judgement, it is therefore rightfully his.
